Who Can Participate?

• Juniors in 3rd through 12th grade
• Ladies of all experience levels (age 18 and above)

Parents and grandparents are encouraged to bring future shooters out to the club so we can teach them how to safely handle and shoot a shotgun (approximately 8 lbs). Participants will also learn valuable life skills such as discipline, sportsmanship, and confidence.

Safety is strongly emphasized and strictly adhered to at all times.
